What Should You Expect?

GETTING STARTED

You will start your course assisting Divemasters and Instructors with their day-to-day duties. Through immersion, you will learn the daily routine and what it takes to prepare a dive trip each day. In this phase, you’ll learn about dive sites and how to read water conditions, practise your navigational skills and study the theory in your Divemaster manual. You will also begin practising your ‘skill circuit’ with other divemaster candidates, learning how to properly demonstrate skills to beginner divers. Of course, this is all in addition to getting in as many dives as possible.

LEARNING FROM OTHERS

Throughout your training, although you’ll learn from all instructors, you will have one mentor to help guide you throughout the process. Tag along on different courses until you are ready to actively assist on courses and help teach with with an Instructor. These assists are crucial, as they are the first step in preparing you how to teach divemaster led workshops such as scuba reviews. Surface intervals will be filled with practising dive & boat briefings, developing an emergency action plan and beginning to map a dive site. We will also help you perfect your rescue skills and fill in any gaps in your dive theory knowledge.

BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL

Towards the end of your course, you’ll be the star of your own course. Now it’s up to you to be in charge of organising a dive trip. Prepare the dive equipment and boat roster, give briefings and guide certified divers – all under the watchful eyes of your mentor. A “stress test” (technically known as the equipment exchange) will mark your last in-water exam before you become a real PADI Divemaster. Finally, your course will conclude with the legendary Snorkel Test. But that’s a story for later on in your training…

Don't just take our word for it:

Have always been a dream to dive. During the experience I learned a lot. I was very excited to do it. Despite my fear, I did it because I got a great accompaniment. Everything is very well laid out and they work very proficiently with great pleasure as well. If I get the chance I'll definitely do it again.

Amazing staff! I had so much fun in the dives and the underwater views was breathtaking! Such a nice place with a good vibes/

We were a family group of 3 brand new Open Water Divers and one very experienced diver. All of us thought the team at Blue Marlin fabulous- us new Divers were looked after and treated with patience and kindness without feeling patronised- we were better taught by Blue Marlin that by the instructor we had in the UK.
Although there wasn’t much coral to be seen, we were taken on dives than even out advanced diver enjoyed. In his view Blue Marlin are right at the top end of Dive outfits that he has dived with round the World. Utterly loved it all ( especially our 17 year old son who would still be with them now if we’d let him!)

Diving with Blue Marlin was an amazing experience. The team is very professional and competent and they care at all times that you are well. They put all kinds of facilities for you to make the divings that you want and they are a very nice and friendly team. I recommend diving with them without any hesitation.

Blue Marlin Dive Gili Meno helped me and my two children get our Open Water certification, and did it with professionalism and good humour. My kids are 10 and 13 so we weren't a particularly normal group to deal with, but the staff at Blue Marlin treated us with equal respect, didn't 'baby' the children along, allowed us to learn effectively and safely. I'd recommend Blue Marlin to anyone interested in diving, whether beginners or advanced. Thanks Ann!
